Who This Service Is For

Commercial Property Managers

Duty holders of non-domestic premises have a legal obligation under Regulation 4 of CAR 2012 to manage asbestos. A management survey is the essential first step in meeting this requirement.

Homeowners & Landlords

If your property was built before the year 2000 and you are planning any renovation, extension, or maintenance work, a refurbishment survey will identify asbestos before it is inadvertently disturbed.

Contractors & Developers

Before starting any refurbishment or demolition project, the client has a duty to commission an appropriate asbestos survey to protect workers and comply with CDM Regulations.

Typical Scenarios

A landlord purchasing a 1970s property portfolio needs management surveys for each building to establish an asbestos register and management plan.

A school in Winchester requires a refurbishment survey before planned classroom renovation works during the summer holiday period.

A commercial developer in Southampton needs demolition surveys across a former industrial site before structural demolition can begin.

A homeowner in Basingstoke discovers textured coating on ceilings during a kitchen renovation and needs urgent sampling to confirm whether asbestos is present.

Asbestos Surveys FAQs

What is the difference between a management survey and a refurbishment survey?

A management survey is designed to locate asbestos-containing materials that could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy and routine maintenance. A refurbishment survey is more intrusive and is required before any planned renovation or refurbishment work — it aims to find all ACMs in the area where work will take place, including within the building fabric.

How much does an asbestos survey cost in Hampshire?

A standard domestic management survey typically costs between £150 and £300 depending on property size. Commercial surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys are priced based on building complexity and area. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all survey types across Hampshire.

Do I need an asbestos survey for a property built after 2000?

Generally no. The UK banned all forms of asbestos by November 1999, so buildings constructed entirely after this date should not contain asbestos. However, if there is any uncertainty about the construction date or if the building has been extended or modified using reclaimed materials, a survey may still be advisable.
